Tumbling Blocks

New Quilts from an Old Favorite

Plot

The annual contest sponsored by the Museum of the American Quilter's Society encourages quiltmakers to develop innovative quilts from traditional patterns. The 18 winners and finalists share their creative ideas and thoughts while designing and constructing their unique quilts. Tips, techniques, and full-size patterns will enable quilters of all skill levels to plan and make their own Tumbling Blocks quilts. Patterns for different variations of blocks are given, such as foundation-pieced tropical flowers, tilted, square-within-a-square, and interlocking.
